THE REAL PRINCESS.

There was once a prince who wanted
to marry a princess. But she must be
real princess, mind you.
So he travelled all around the world
seeking such one; but everywhere some
thing was in the way. Not that there
was any lack of princessee, but whether
they we're real princesses he could not
seem to make out; there was always some
thing not quite satisfactory. So home he
came again, quite out Of spirits, for he
wished so much to marry a real princess.
One evening terrible storm came on.
1t Numbered and lightened and the rain
poured down; indeed, it was quite fear
full. In the midst OF it there came q
knock at the town gate, and the old king
went out to open it.
It was a princess who stood outside,
but, oh dear, what a state she was in
from the rain and bad weather! The
water dropped from her hair and clothes,
it ran in at the tips of her shoes and out
at the heels; yet she insisted che was
real princess.
Every WE'LL" thought the old queen,
chat we'll presently see."
She said nothing, but went into the
bed-chamber and took off all the bedding,
then laid pea on the sacking of the bed
stead. Having done this, she took TWEEN
ty mattresses, and laid them upon the
pea, and twenty eider-down beds on the
top of the mattresses.
The princess lay upon this bed all the
night. In the morning she was asked
how she had slept.
"Oh, most miserablyr said the prin-
cess; 81 scarcely closed my eyes the
whole night through. I cannot think
what there could have been in the bed.
I lay upon something SO hard that l am
quite black and blue from it all over. 1t
is dreadful"
It was now quite evident that she was
real princess, since through twenty
mattresses and twenty eider-down beds
she had felt the pea. None but real
princess could have such delicate feeling.
So the prince took her for his wife, for
he knew that in her he had found a true
princess. And the pea was preserved in the
cabinet of curiosities, where it is still to
be seen unless some one has stolen it.
And this, mind you, is real story

passed from earth with these truly great
words upon his lips: "Thou, my dear

MRS. FOOT AND HER FIVE TOE
CHILDREN.

Mrs. Foot and her five Toe-children
lived in nice little shoe. The Toe-chil-
dren we're restless because their home
was so dark, but Mrs. Foot was quite
contented and took her house with her
wherever she went. She did not of course
take it to bed, but when she went forth
in the day her house was sure to go too.
Nights, after Mrs. Foot was asleep, the
little Toes made up for lost time, and
generally had great deal of fun. 1t did
not take them long to find out that Mrs.
Foot belonged to very sweet-faced little
girl and they were delighted when they
discovered there was another Mrs. Foot
with just as many young ones living right
across the way. What lots of sport they
had, kicking off the clothes and playing
"Hide-snd-seek" with each other. They
also looked around the dim-Gghted room
and learned great many things. They
took notice that there were windows in
the walls of the house that let in the light
when morning came, and they were very
much pleased with the fact. The moon
beams came sliding in through the same
openings at night, and merry little
breezes full of stories about the world
outside, and the Toe-children made up
their minds that there was nothing half
SO nice as windows in ones house,
and every day they scolded more and
more among themselves about the little
dark shoe.
The Shoe was glad as any one when
night came. 1t got dreadfully tired
tramping around all day. Mrs. Foot was
always on the go, and it never seemed to
occur to her that any one would like a
rest. She seemed to take a great deal of
pains to go through all the dirt and sand
she could find, and if she could splash
into puddle of water, it made her happy
for a week. Once in a while the little
Shoe used to complain, but Mrs. Foot
never took any blame to herself, she al
ways said it was the little girls fault,
and that was the end of it.
The Shoe had some one to sympathize
with it, however. That was the other lit
tie shoe that went through the same tri-
ais, and stood close by its side every
night. They had long talks together
and often sighed and groaned over their
hard lot. One night they talked longer
than usual and we're much excited. The
Toe-children had been behaving very
badly.
"That eldest Toe-boy," complained

FROM TWO POINTS OF VIEW.
"Run out on the walk and see if your
papa is anywhere in sight," said Mrs.
Graves to her little son. The child
obeyed, and presently returned saying,
"Papa has just come round the corner;
am going to meet him." And away he
ran, while Mrs. Graves went to put the
oysters to stew.
The cat and dog, who had been reared
together and were great chums, lay on
the wolf robe before the fireplace.
"How do pity those poor ereaturesP'

THE LITTLE BOOTBLACK.

THE LITTLE BOOTBLACK.
A hundred years ago there lived a lit
tie boy in Oxford, England, whose bust
ness it was to clean the boots of the
students of the famous university there.
He was poor, but bright and smart.
Well, this lad, whose name WAS George,
grew rapidly in favor with the students.
His prompt and hearty way of doing
things, his industrious habits and faith
full deeds, won their admiration. They
saw in him the promise of a noble
man; and they proposed to teach him a
little every day. Eager to learn, George
accepted their proposition; and he soon
surpassed his teachers by his rapid prog
ress. "a boy who can blacken boots we'll
can study WELL" said one of the students.
"Keen as brier," said another, " and
pluck enough to make hero"
But we cannot stop to tell of his pa
tience and perseverance. He went on,
step by step, just as the song goes

until he became q mana learned and
eloquent man, who preached the gospel
to admiring thousands. The little boot
black became the renowned pulpit ora

THE CRAB AND THE MONKEY

THE CRAB AND THE MONKEY.
Once upon time there was crab
who lived in hole on the shady side of
hill. One day he found bit of rice
cake. A monkey, who was just finishing
a persimmon, met the crab, and offered
to exchange it's seed for the rice-cake.
The simple minded crab accepted the
proposal and the exchange was made
The monkey ate the rice cake, but the
crab backed off home, and planted the
seed in his garden. A fine tree grew up,
and the crab was delighted to think Of
the nice fruit he was going to have. He
built nice new house, and used to sit
on the balcony watching the persimmons
One day, the monkey came along, and
being very hungry, he exclaimed:
"What fine tree you have herel Could
you give me one of those nice, ripe per-
simmons? will not trouble you to pick
it; will go up for it myself"
Certainly" answered the crab. "Will
you please throw down some to me? We
Will ENJOY them GOSeknof.
Up went the monkey, but he had no
idea of throwing down fruit to the crab
He first filed bis pockets; then he ate ali
the ripest persimmons as fast as he could,
and threw the seeds at the crab
"Ha, HAP laughed the crab, pretend
ing to enjoy the fun, SO as to outwit the
monkey. "What good shot you are!
Do you suppose you could come down
from that tree headforemost?"
"Yes, indeed" said the monkey, "of
course I cap," and Immediately turned
around and started down the tree. OF
course all the persimmons dropped out of
his pockets. The crab seized the ripe
fruit and ran off to his hole. The mon
Key, waited till he had crawled out, gave
him a sound thrashing and went home.
Just at that time, rice-mortar was
travelling by with his several apprentices
"a wasp, an egg, and sea weed. After
hearing the crabs story, they agreed to
assist him.
Marching to the monkeys house, and
finding him out, they laid plot to dis
pose of him when he came home. The
egg lay in the ashes on the hearth, the
wasp in the closet, the sea-weed near the
door, and the mortar over the Intel.
When the monkey came home he lighted
fire to steep his tea, when the egg burst
and SO spattered his face, that he ran
bowling away to the well for water to
cool his face. Then the wasp flew out
and stung him. In trying to drive off the
wasp he slipped on the sea-weed; and
then the rice-mortar, falling on him,
crushed him to death. The wasp and the
mortar and the sea-weed lived happily to-
gether ever afterward. This is q sample

THE MOTHERS LIFE.

The mothers life is full of prose,
From early dawn to daylight's close;
But oft, amid her household cares,
Some little poem, unawares,
Is written down within her heart,
And of her life becomes part.
Some loving words child may say,
A golden curl long put away,
A half-worn shoe upon the floor;
An outgrown dress the baby wore.
A broken toy, or faded flower,
May touch the heartstrings any hour.
Then come thoughts none else may know,
While unseen tears in silence flow.
Teaching, amid the toll and strife,
The higher poetry of life.
Which lifts the soul, so earthward bound.
Where greater strength and faith are
found.

17.-RIRLE RIDDLE.

AT midnight the stars looked down
On a city proud and fair;
From whose throbbing life sudden cry
Rang out on the startled air;
Then gathered throng apace.
In wondering haste and dread,
Drawn by the cry to the fatal place.
Where lay before them dead.
There was parting at break of day
A lingering, sad farewell;
Nor tears nor entreaties might delay,
Nor hope return foretell;
But amid that Borrowing band
was brought to ease their pain,
And comforted they beheld me stand.
The dead alive again!
